Parent of all people,you are the Holy One:choosing to be with usthat we might livein your kingdom.

You are our Destination: offering peace to warmakers,justice to outcasts,righteousness to the lost,hope to the broken-hearted;

you are Nurture:sharing your Breadwith the hungry,pouring living waterinto the deserts of our lives;

you are Compassion,forgiving us even whenour silence encourages oppression,our fears foster violence,our desires harm others;modeling for us how to forgive others;
